CHLORTHALIDONE vs OLMESARTAN MEDOXOMIL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE

I start by saying I'm an NP student, not a pharmacist. In my clinical rotations the providers I am under are all prescribing HCTZ with no good explanation why.

My mother in law had a knee replacement surgery and was doing well. She was mobile and doing PT. 10 days post op she collapsed and was gone before she hit the ground, they ruled it a pulmonary embolism. I just reviewed the detailed autopsy. She had multiple clots in all lobes of both lungs. "The

I've been working the past couple of days and never before realized how many patients we have on Atenolol (+ or - Chlorthalidone....). I know we are all suffering the brunt of this shortage.

He is currently taking Metoprolol (25 mg), Atorvastatin (10 mg) and Ramipril (1.25 mg). He drinks one or two beers a week. He was a smoker for about 10 years in hi

**UPDATE ABOUT THIS POST** I've been banned from r/fasting. No explanation was given. HOWEVER; I have stopped the fast at 7 days and started back on food with miso soup and egg yolks. I will now focus on eliminating THC-COOH through bile using activated charcoal (see post for why this is happening).

Today i did 20km walk and more than 300 pushups. Context: I am an obese moron (115 kg) with hypertension (160/100 mmHg), and in order to reduce that, i went for this step. I have reduced my diet by over 30%, now i will take olmesartan medoxomil tablets (40mg) to control my BP. FUCK THAT CUNT ASS DO

I took my 2.5 y/o M to the vet 2 days ago for blood in his pee. Turns out he has a calcium stone in his bladder :(( The vet said to try to get him to pass it and was wondering if anyone on here had any experience with that? Any input is greatly appreciated! Currently his meds are: 1. Potassium cit
